This looks like the kind of coat that I would see in a shop window and just WANT. I can see myself now, stood in a darkening street, with my nose pressed against the fogged up window pane like a Dickensian orphan.

I don't have the faintest idea I've just checked the label of everything I've stenciled so far and they've all been cotton- but this is pure chance as I've been picking things that are in colours and shapes I like, and where I can find it, fair trade too.

What would the problem be with poly cotton? Are you thinking ironing problems?

HiI'd love to join in again, maybe I'll do better this year- I made, photographed and posted January's last year, and made but failed to photograph or post February's.It gives me somehting to aim for this year- photograph February's and make March's at least! The 2 colour idea sounds great
